Finally! I loved this game.  Nuclear grenade launchers + fully destructible environments = Awesome

I just can't handle how ugly these graphics are nowadays.  :-\

This game could really use a proper remake (not that FPS one).

I used to beat every level as the Church by simply using Persuadatrons and grabbing the entire map as a mob.

I remember Syndicate was out around the same time as one of the first RTS games 'dune' , but I didnt like the look of it, but Its a game I always wished I played, whats the differrence with the ordinay one compared to the Wars one?

Yeah yeah yeah...so the game graphically has not aged well. Its got early 3D graphics and pretty poor resolution. Doesn't change the fact that it was a great game in its day.  It really captured that Blade Runner Cyber Punk feeling. Its still a good game, but I can understand some people not being interested in its antiquated look and UI.

Its different from the first Syndicate wars in that it is fully 3D and the environments are destructible.
